How nice is the telugu garden
how sweet are the fragrance are its flowers


where from did they bring the soil
what pure water have they bought here
how different varieties grow in this garden
how rich growth has this garden has


which immortal hands have touched this garden
what angles have shaped it thus
how sweet is the arrangement of its flowers
how gracious are the creepers


like a lady's love and the sunshine itself
the soft toch of snow or the truth of the great sages
I will sow the seed in this garden
and sleep under its cool shade



The poet compares his motherland with a garden and how beautiful it looks
He is proud of it and wished to leave a mark of his own in the garden.
